Last week our 3rd graders met high school students from the Abenaki Circle of Courage Youth Group of Swanton. Along with the group advisor Brenda, the students shared Abenaki culture, language and drumming traditions. Did you know the word “skunk” is an Abenaki word? Brenda introduced many of the traditions that Ospreys will learn about during our Native American unit. Thank you to Mrs. Benay for bringing the Circle of Courage Group to MBS!
